Eli's 2nd year?
What exactly does it mean to compare MS 2nd year to Eli's 2nd year?
Many guys have had crummy 2nd years and then been out of the league in 4-5 years which by the way also means nothing.
What does matter is MS cannot hit a reciever in stride or throw an acccurate pass over 15 yds.
He is a choking fumbling interception producing POS as a QB.

know your history babe.....Coughlin relieved the Giants former OC of play calling duties and gave it to Gilbride in the last or 2nd to last game of the season the year they won the Super Bowl.....arent a ton of us asking Rex to fire/relieve Schotty??

The point is that Giants fans were clamoring that Eli was a bum at the end of his 3rd full year the same way the majority of Jets fans are doing right now......the 2 of them have basically the exact same body of work up until this point.....What did Eli do the next year?? Win the SUPER BOWL......and now he is entrenched and cemented as the greatest QB the Giants ever had and everyone loves him!!

And to think that all it took was a change at the Offensive coordinator position......learn from the past my friends

We will see next year. Sanchez did play in the AFC Championship game in his first two years, and he performed well. But he was horrible this year and has not shown the ability to throw the ball well down field. Maybe defenses are wising up to this and playing a bit tighter. In the Giant game, against a vulnerable secondary, his longest completion was for 15 yards. Not the sign of an elite QB. Also, his decision-making is not very good- he makes the same mistakes, and he should be past that by now.

Eli won a Super Bowl in his 4TH Year, and was Super Bowl MVP. He played a major role in all the playoff victories, all on the road, and helped defeat the mighty Patriots. Does anyone think Sanchez is going to lead the Jets to a super bowl victory next year?

Bottom line, Tannenbaum drafted Sanchez and anointed him as the future of the Jets. Maybe he should reconsider, but he won't. I am not convinced Sanchez has what it takes to be an elite QB in this league.

Why did Eli get better ? because they started surrounding him with a load of skill players at just about every position. You think the Jets are smart enough to do that after the way they handled Sanchez the first 3 years ?

Not if the Jets do not make wholesale changes on offense . I pretty much expect more of the same or worse.

LOL!!!

They lost their all-pro RB from the year before. Their all-pro TE was acting up like a baby all season and then got injured before the playoffs. Said TE was replaced by a 5th round rookie who blocked worse than Dustin Keller at the time. They were starting Amani Toomer, who was far from a "skill player" at that point. The great Sinorice Moss was their slot receiver. Rookie Steve Smith who missed most of the season. Derrick Ward & Reuben Droughns had a couple hundred carries.Brandon Jacobs missed the first third of the season & wasn't exactly the goal-line beast of a year prior. They also did some OL shuffling, after cutting their starting LT and his replacement retired.In addition to Barber, who was still arguably the NFC's best RB in '06, they also "lost" Tim Carter (started 8 games the year before), Jim Finn, and Visanthe Shiancoe from their 2006 team.

All the Sanchez excuse-makers would be screaming bloody murder if the Jets did Sanchez like that, and likely would have followed that up with citing all-time great QBs who couldn't have possibly led the team to a superbowl.

You're talking about a lot of talent there though. The Giants have always had depth. The Jets have Patrick Turner.

The complaint all season long was player turnover at receiver, specifically losing Edwards and Cotchery. Teams do well every year with player turnover. QBs get used to new receivers every single season. The good ones make lousy talents look like mediocre ones. They make mediocre talents look good. They make good players look great. Sanchez does none of this. He makes formerly good & great players into mediocre ones and they dog their routes knowing he's not delivering it. I'm not absolving the receivers because they are a hard group to like as a fan. But they are plenty talented. Sanchez can only rarely deliver the goods and you can bet they know it.

I suppose there will be no end to the excuses until we surround Sanchez with the AFC's starting pro bowl lineup and the game's greatest offensive masterminds.

C'mon bro. You've seen enough football that I know you can see the difference between Sanchez and the game's better QBs.

WTF are you talking about ? So guys got hurt and retired yet they still got Nicks and Mannigham and Bradshaw do you bother to look at how much the giants have invested in skill players compared to the Jets ?

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the harsh winds blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming
